Reminder: Don't buy lottery tickets for kids this holiday season
The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is reminding Ohioans to not give children lottery tickets as stocking stuffers this holiday season. OhioMHAS said that lottery, scratch-off tickets, and gambling games are not appropriate gifts for children under age 18. Young people reportedly had their first gambling experiences occur around ages 9-11.
